Case Study: SFR achieves compliance, enterprise-wide SharePoint management, and rapid content recovery with AvePoint DocAve

SFR SharePoint Administrators Meet Compliance Objectives, Manage Company Deployment, And Quickly Recover Content With DocAve®

SFR, a major French mobile and fixed-line telecommunications operator and Vivendi subsidiary, used Microsoft SharePoint (MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2010) to support 15,000 users, roughly 700 sites, and dozens of business applications. Administrators struggled with SharePoint’s native limitations: lack of granular auditing and compliance reports, no way to make bulk configuration or permission changes, inconsistent web front ends across servers, and slow, full-database restores that could take up to two days.

SFR deployed AvePoint’s DocAve platform (Auditor, Administrator, Deployment Manager, Backup & Restore, Content Manager) to address these gaps. DocAve delivered customized audit/reporting, bulk propagation of configurations and permissions across 700+ sites, automatic web front-end synchronization, and timeline-based, item-level restores that reduced recovery time from two days to two hours, while enabling delegated end-user content management and meeting compliance objectives.
